Answer:
a = 20; b = 2√101
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle at upper left and the one at lower right are similar. Ratios of corresponding sides are equal, so ...
200/a = a/2
400 = a^2
√400 = 20 = a
Then, by the Pythagorean theorem, the value of b can be found:
b = √(a^2 + 2^2) = √(400 +4) = √4·√101
b = 2√101
Hello.
-7h + 2(-4h + 5) > -4h + 1 + 10 ; solve for h
Our first step is to get rid of all the parenthesis. We can do this by simplifying everything out.
-7h - 8h + 10 > -4h + 11
Add like terms.
-15h + 10 > -4h + 11
Now, we must isolate our variables. We do this by moving all variables to one side and moving our other numbers to the other.
Subtract 10 from both sides. Then, add 4h to both sides.
-15h + 4h > 11 - 10
Simplify.
-h > 1
Divide both sides by -1.
However, keep in mind that when dividing with a negative, you must change the sign. Therefore, > turns into <
-h ÷ -1 < 1 ÷ -1
h < -1
<span>0.5x - 0.1 = -2.9
When you multiply each side of an equation by the same number,
you don't change the equation or its solution. If you want to get rid
of the decimals, you could multiply each side by 10. Then the
equation is
5x - 1 = -29
You should be able to solve that without help.
But I'm about to take your points, so here's
how to solve that equation:
</span><span><span>5x - 1 = -29
Add 1 to each side: 5x = -28
Divide each side by 5 : x = -28 / 5
Simplify the solution: x = -5 and 4/5 .
Again ... this is the same solution as the original equation
if we hadn't gotten rid of the decimals.
